| | | A core text for the Law and Society or Sociology of Law course offered in Sociology, Criminal Justice, Political Science, and Schools of Law. - John Sutton offers an explicitly analytical perspective to the subject - how does law change? What makes law more or less effective in solving social problems? What do lawyers do? - Chapter 1 contrasts normative and sociological perspectives on law, and presents a brief primer on the logic of research and inference as it is applied to law related issues. - Theories of legal change are discussed within a common conceptual framework that highlights the explantory strengths and weaknesses of different arguments. - Discussions of "law in action" are explicitly comparative, applying a consistent model to explain the variable outcomes of civil rights legislation. - Many concrete, in-depth examples throughout the chapters.
| Praise"I look forward to using this book in my undergraduate sociology of law course." |
